1949 Map of Thompson Canyon

About this map

King City sits as the primary settlement on the eastern edge of this 1949 landscape, where the valley floor meets the complex drainage systems of the Gabilan Range. The map details the transition from the agricultural flats along the Salinas River to the steep, dissected terrain characterized by Thompson Canyon and Monroe Canyon. Infrastructure of the era is well-represented, from the Southern Pacific railroad line and Central Avenue to the King City Airport and local utilities like a Pumping Sta and Sewage Disposal site.
